We're trying to tap into the Waze's partner hub Traffic Data using their GeoRSS XML feed. The feed downloads fine in Chrome and Postman.It's a simple GET request. But I get the following error in the log. "HTTP transfer error: Unrecognized or bad HTTP Content or Transfer-Encoding" When tested in Curl I had to include the ssl-no-revoke argument to allow it to download (might be caused by our funky certificate store). "The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate." I have "Verify SSL Certificates" set to No in the HttpCaller. Any ideas? Is it related to the ssl-no-revoke? 

I've realized that we can include a template to MS-Word writer (docx). However it seems it only captures formatting from the template. Is there any way that I can populate specific Bookmarks/Content Controls based on their title/tag names with attributes?

Hi folks,If you see this kind of message, you probably set Python variables environment.If you have PYTHON_HOME or/and PYTHON_PATH defined to ArcMap modules and you try to import arcpy from ArcPro module, you will get an issue.You need to remove this global variable and should fix your problem.

So for my research, I am required to combine point clouds and have them side by side with one another to have the entire field we took data from present. Currently, whenever I combine the files they are all on top of one another is there a way to have them side by side?Also in my data, some of the point clouds are at an angle that is not correct since the lidar sensor and drone used took the data in a funky way. Is there a way to adjust the angle so it can be similar to the level with the other point clouds?

I would like to have a python caller execute a task on every attribute of a feature. How can I do this ?

Our Functional team doesn't have access to the linux server and therefor can't launch FME Desktop/FME inspector tool. Is there a way they can launch a URL/GUI without giving them access to the linux server? thx

I have a FME worbench that is reading an excel file and merging it with data in a SDE geodatabase. For each record in the table I need to create an ID field that consists of a consistent initial 3 letters depending on the company, then a 2 digit year, and then 4 digits. It would need to be unique as well. I would need to find the last 4 digit number used by the company and add one to it.I would then need to put this all together into one ID field attribute. Any ideas of how to do this would be appreciated!

hello,   I have a workspace with 2 tables. these tables are automatically populated. in the translation is a FeatureJoiner (left join) which joins the data from these 2 tables and "moves" it further.. Is it any possibility to stop the translation after running it if one of the input tables is empty(no records)?   Thank you Nicu 

Where can I find FME 2021.x Technical Specifications?

Our Tenable Security Scanner keeps complaining about the Tomcat version inside FME Server. We're ready to upgrade to 2021.2.5.0 but we want to know if it will solve the TC version issues.  

I would like to build a server app that will use specific folder locations as dynamic choice values. I have the basic values set up as user parameters.the user selects a project name (unc folder location). Then the user selects 1 or more files in a subfolder of the selected project.I used the import button on the choice value/description. the problem is these are not dynamic. The project folder would only show folders that are already created. and the file chooser would only show the one folder used to import the values. there seems to be no good way to accomplish this. After speaking with support it seems maybe python is the only way i am going to accomplish this. However i am at a loss as to how to get started.

Welcome to the roundup of FME news for this (and last) week... FME Conference and World TourPreparation for the FME user conference in August is proceeding well.   The presentation lineup is now decided, with folks like Frederic (Using FME to Study/Preserve Marine Mammals) and myself (Raster Algebra and FME) being informed of our acceptance. The training lineup will be published soon, though I can reveal that I'm working on a course on Dynamic Workspaces, including use of the SchemaScanner.  And one other thing I'm working on is an evening Hackathon event. In short, the whole conference is going to be great and there is still Early Bird pricing for a few weeks. As Frederic says, "I'm looking forward to seeing so many of my highly-missed fme-addict friends there." The Safe Software part of the FME World Tour (the Brunch and Learn) is now complete, but registrations are still open! Why? So that you can access all of the talks and presentations from the event.   Othe

I'm running a workbench which contains several SQLExecutors that queries an Azure SQL database. When running the workbench we get an alert from Microsoft Defender for Cloud saying that "An application generated a faulty SQL statement on database XXX. This may indicate that the application is vulnerable to SQL injection". When looking into the case, I can see that the query raising this warning is from FME:  SELECT * INTO #fme_tempAdoDataTypeTable_spatialReader FROM ( select CustomerID, Name, PostAddress_Address1 from Customer where UPPER([Name]) = 'Hans Hansen' and UPPER(PostAddress_Address1) = 'Gates' vei 69' ) AS customQuery WHERE 1=0 Does anyone now why this warning occurs? Is it normal that FME triggers these?

Hello, I am trying to create a report using the HTMLReportGenerator, for this case I want to show some maps according to an attribute they have, so I use the Group Processing option in the transformer by that specific attribute, but the output is just one map and a bunch of errors in the console. They say that "Map container is already initialized." or if I change all the global variables (var) that the report creates for scoped variables (let) the error says "Identifier 'map' has already been declared". Any ideas on how I can use this transformer for plotting multiple maps on a single page? Thanks.

I have to read several shapefiles that are in a second level zipped file. As an example:C:\\compressed1.zip \\compressed2.zip\\ layer.shp I get to reach the first level but when I try to reach the second level, FME gives me failures.Any idea? Thank you very much

I am trying to write from Excel to Azure. The writer table has no primary key as it is just a staging table and doesn't need one. FME will not allow me to write to it unless I set a primary key. Azure lets me write to the table within the server so it seems like it is only FME requiring a primary key. How do I get FME to write to a writer with no primary key? This is the error message (I am not creating a new table):Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Writer: Failed to create Azure table 'dbo.test_survey' because no clustered index or primary key was specified. If creating a new table, go into the 'User Attribute' tab and set the 'Index' column to 'clustered', 'clustered_not_null', or 'primary_key' for a column And these are the settings

Hey There,I hope another set of eyes on this might help. I am having trouble with Python scripts and the Python Caller. I generate the error 000816, which I have tracked down to a possible conflict between 32 and 64 bit versions of Python conflicting with ESRI geoprocessing tools. I have attached a screen cap of the log. I have highlighted where I think FME is using 64 bit but I have set the Preferred Interpreter to the 32 bit in the Tools. Any thoughts? Many thanks and all the best!c.

Hello Experts,I have a file in which I have 2 columns id and distance. The distance corresponds to the ids. The issue is that some ids are duplicates and the distance is different. I want to identify the ID which has closet distance associated. See the image attached. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to use WorkspaceRunner to perform a batch processing, but I didn't get the result I wanted.For example, I run 4 fme.exe at the same time in child workbrench and set the output result to same location. No matter the output location is Esri Geodatabase with 4 different names or with 1 same name, sometimes one or more fme.exe fail to write the correct result, some features will be missing.But when I set 4 different Esri Geodatabases as output locations, I can get the correct result. And this happens only when I use File Geodb Open API Writer, File Geodb didn't work either.I'am thinking maybe FME can't write to the same GDB at same time? Is there any solution to situation? Otherwise I have to do an additional Fanout processing.Thank you.

Trying this workspace, I get an error saying 'owner' feature type does not exist. The FeatureWriter output format is SpatiaLite and a template.sqlite database is used. For both feature types "Use existing" table handling is selected. Parcel geometry type is wkb_polygon and owner is wkb_none. The 'owner' table exists in the template. Could it be a FeatureWriter error managing SpatiaLite?
